Frauenfeld, Administrative capital in northern Switzerland.
Frauenfeld sits at an elevation of 417 meters along the Murg River, connecting with the Thur River in the canton of Thurgau.
The town originated in 1246 through a collaboration between the count of Kyburg and the abbot of Reichenau, later becoming a Habsburg territory in 1264.
The Historical Museum of Thurgau, located in the 13th-century castle, displays regional artifacts and documents the development of the Swiss canton.
The central railway station and multiple bus lines provide regular connections to Zurich, making Frauenfeld accessible for daily commuters and visitors.
Two major fires in 1771 and 1788 reshaped the entire town, leaving only the medieval castle, one house, and the Evangelical church standing.
